March 31, 1966 SENTINEL 5 Alumni Begin Careers; Set Sights for Success 9 w A year ago the senior class of '65 was roaming the halls of Redeemer, but today they are just roaming. Many became green freshmen again last September and have been hitting the books at college. Within the collegiate whirl, two former Redeemerites have been recognized for their outstanding scholastic achieve ment. The University of Michigan awarded Diane Maskeny the Villiam J . Branstrom Freshman Award, for ranking in the up- per seven percent of her class. Marygrove's Alpha Lambda Delta has elected Lorrain Grabow'ski to their chap- ter for outstanding scholastic achieve- ment. The Alpha Lambda Delta is a na - tional honor sorority for freshmenand sophomores who have attained a 2. 5 or a B plus average. Other 65'ers are preparing for a fu- ture in religious life. Anne Boutt is now Sister Ann Kathleen of the Carmelite Sisters, and is stationed at the MaryManning Walsh Home in New York until April 11 when she will receive her first habit at their Motherhouse. Sue Clymer has found a new life with the Sisters of St. Joseph in Kalamazoo. By Sue Omilian '67 Ann Korzeniowski '67 Marilyn Murray '65 ? Helen Bourgoin entered the Glenmary Order and she is now living at Christ the King Convent in Ohio. She writes glowing letters home, mostly about her work. In a recent letter she writes: Guesswhat! I'mworking with Scouts. Girl Scouts! Whoopee! There is both a Brownie and a Junior troop in town. So far we OOUW have enough for a Cadette troop, but we would like to atart one. On the masculine side, Harold Barkley is following the life of a Jesuit Brother, and is stationed at Colombiere College in Clarkston, Michigan. As a brother he will be engaged in the spiritual and tem- poral works by which the Jesuit Order serves the Church in our times.

4 SENTINE L March 31, 1966 Hamsters Inherit Happy Home By Sister M. Berchmans This squirming, squiggling handful of animation represents the first success the Biology Department has had in its genetics experiment to determine the dominance of coat color and pattern in hamsters. Jeargens Angst is holding the brand new hamsters. Charlie Brown is the saddle-backed brown and white one. The one clambering over the others isPeanuts, and Lucy and Patty are making their way over Jeargens' palms. Singers Join Honor Choral By Margaret Malone '68 Three Redeemer Choral members took part in the first annual choral night fea- turing parochial high school singers and instrumentalists. Those chosen for this honor are Helga Abela, James Hetner, and Nancy Kieliszewski. Conducting the l70-voice Honor Chorus was Dr. C. Alexander Peloquin, nation- ally known for his Peloquin Choral. The concertwas presented by the par- ochial schools in conjunction with the De- troit Unit of the Catholic Music Educa- tors Association. The singers were se- lected from all Archdiocesan schools. Sister Georglyn selected the singers from Redeemer on the basis of voice, performance, andgeneral participation. The four hamsters are the offspring of an orange and white saddle-backed female, and a golden brown male. By great good fortune the litter dem- onstrates perfectly the Laws of Prob- ability bothwith regard to the sex of the offspring, and with regard to coat color and marking. Two are males and two are females; three of them inherited the brown coat of the father, and one tCharlie Browni has the brown and white saddle markings of the mother. This perfect321ratio indicates that the father was a heterozygous golden ham- ster, and that the mother was heterozy- gous recessive for saddle-back marking. None of the hamsters has the orange coloring of the mother. Has it been lost? Will it show up again? Can the brown hamsters have saddle-backed off- spring? The answers to these questions may be answered early next year, when two crosses of the litter will be made and the results added to the growing pedigree of the lab animals. Data Matches Compatibles By Chris Bickes '68 ?fi The latest addition to the computer age, the computer dance has arrived at Re- deemer, with all buttons polished and all wires coiled. For this dance, sponsored by the Stu- dent Council, a special computer will match up every boy and girl who filled outa questionnaire which inquired about favorite topics, music, hobbies, and any special qualities admired in others. At the dance, planned for Apri129, each couple must remain together for at least a half hour. These are the only plans that have been published. So far the manner of meeting, the name of the band, and the kind of refreshments are top secrets of the Student Council. Jim Egan and Lester Goodchild congrat- ulate each other on their election to TAV. Seniors Elected Teen Committee Officers The Challenge, nearing its first anni- versaryhas grown and grown. Now num- bering more than 500 members, living everywhere fromDraytonPlains, Michi- gan to Toronto Canada, communication between the Challengers and the program itself has begun to be a problem. To meet the problem, a committee was formed to allow mutual communication. The committee is called TAV which is Challenge code for Teen Ad-Visors. The officers of TAV are Lester Good- child, President; and Jim Egan, Second Vice-President. Both are Challengers from Redeemer. Officers from other schools are John Mathe, First Vice-President; and Buzz Spenzeski, Treasurer. These boys were elected by a group of Challengers who were called to form the committee. In the past, the Bell Letter, the Chal- lenge newspaper, provided an information link only to the Challengers. Now there is needfora feed back to the decisions of the Senior Board who run the program. As Al McNeeley, Challenge director, said, If an organization is to live it must grow. We must be informed about what kids want and what they're doing. In the future the TAV will act as this link, forming a communication center for the fiftyschools and parishes associated with the Challenge. They will mail re- ports monthly into TAV Headquarters at Casa Maria Community Center. The members hope that the Challenge will now have an effective two-way com-7 munication system. COME SEE Mrs. Breitenbeck has loaned the school two original paintings for art appreciation. They are dis- played in Room 202.

6 SENTINEL F'ROM THE LowEST OF THE LowEST tie Insantties Another chapter in the continuing story of Spot and Puff, anr' me pet children, Dinlr, Jane, and Sal. it has been brought to this writer's at- tention that Spot and Puff are quite unique animals. It seems that unlike ordinary dogs and cats they do not make a habit of fighting. As a matter of fact they get along quite well together and are on the whole quite genial animals. The only area of corruption centers around one of their unusual pasttimes . Whenever these two are left alone for too long they bring out the cards and be- gin to gamble. Dick, Jane, and Sally have adifficult time keeping them apart. There have arisen a few popular, but as usual, slightly altered sayings, asa result of their illegal ventures. One is See Puff run! Actually this originated as an exclamation of an overly-enthus- iastic on-looker at one of their games. In the original this saying read, See Puff's run! This referred obviously to to the cards dealt the lucky cat. Another is, Boy, Spot sure has a full house. This in no way refers to the available standing room in Spot's casino which is referred to as the doghouse. No, actually, it was another exclam- ation of the same effervescent spectator who was this time astounded at the un- canny luck of the canine better. As a word of warning to anyone who might in the near future be privileged to obtain a ticket of entrance to one of these games: Do not be tempted to ex- press your feelings as freely as did the above-mentioned spectator. It seems that this individual brought about a popular saying of Spot's which reads, Beware of mad dog! By the way, this final quote has not as yet met with any change in wording. March 31, 1966 Hear Those Bells! Don't by Sue King '68 High above Holy Redeemer High towers perhaps the most striking structure in the entire area. The Campanile, 300 feet of concrete and brick, stands proudly sym- bolic of the good will and cooperation of the Redeemer parishioners. The most important part of The Cam- panile is the bell. The first bell, blessed onNovember 13, 1881 by Bishop Borgess, hung in the bell tower atop an old wood- frame church, locatedwhere the rectory now stands. The present bell tower was begun in July, 1925. A year later, on July 4, the rector, Father Dunn, blessed the present chimes, before 2, 000 people. Each of the ten bells is dedicated to a different saint, and was sponsored by two parishioners. This strange-looking contraption is an organ which was used in the past to play melodies of hymns. Those spokes are the pedals. The location of this organ is just below the bell tower. Since the bell has been elec- trified, the organ is no longer used. Juniors Sponsor Plays The Junior Class in collaboration with the Parent-Teacher Guild is sponsoring two theatre parties to be held in April. OnApril l4, Redeemerites will see the stage interpretation of Geroge Bernard Shaw's St. Joan. This play has been called Shaw's mostambitious effort, and was the culmination of an interest in Joan that had begun many years before. St. Joan is a controversial play as well as an inspirational one. Shaw says that in order to have a true understanding of Joan's story one must understand the fundamental institutions of the Middle Ages. In his play he tries to offer evi- dence that makes understanding possible. On April 28, the offering is Shakes- peare's The Tempest. This is one of the bard's most colorful and elaborate plays, and has earned extravagant praise from the critics of the Wayne State pro- duction. c i. What is this? What does it look like? It is the inside of the Big Bell in the Campanile. The picture is from the worm's eye view. The bells are more correctly called chimes. From 1936 to 1942, Rev. Eugene Buhler, pastor, would make the bells play molndinc. AtChristmas the chimes rang out with Silent Night and Joy to the ' Norld. In the middle of the tower is a machine similar to an organ which had pedals to chime the different bells. Now it remains idle, a symbol of the past. At the base of the Campanile, lbehind the Golden Gates is the Baptistry. In- side, the seven Sacraments are done in mosaic on the walls. A small altar is in the front. To the backis a golden door; behind it are staircases and ladders to the bells. ' For many the Campanile brings back many memories of the past. For others the bells ring out the hopes of the future. F uture Frosh Go to Cobo by Tom Lisicki '67 Attention Science Department! Fresh talent is on its wayfrom the Junior High. Five students from across the parking lot have landed their projects in the an- nual Science Fair at Cobo Hall. Eighth grader Joe Rutherford exhibited his results from the tests with reflexes and senses of mice. Fellow classmates Theresa Chlebek's project involvedair pollution; and Dan Wilkens displayed a periodic table. Seventh graders also entered projects. Karen Marsh cultivated plants in scien- tifically controlled environment. Frank Keegan constructed a Hawaiian mandolin that really worked. The exhibits were first entered in the preliminaries at Redeemer, and were judged by high school science teachers, Sister Berchmans, Sister Mary Ivan, and Mr. Shirkey. These and other projects were then entered in the regionals at Western and the five mentioned gained admission to the Science Fair at Cobo.
